Holiday Events for Stark Parks
(November 2, 2023) – Stark Parks is hosting two holiday events this December. More information and registration can be found at http://www.StarkParks.com for these events and more.
Santa Claus and Furry Paws – 5:00 – 8:00 PM – December 2nd
Join Stark Library Perry-Sippo Branch, Stark Parks, and guests of honor, Mr. & Mrs. Claus to kick-off a season of giving at Sippo Lake Park, co-sponsored by Perry Rotary and Friends of Stark Parks. At the Exploration Gateway, there will be take-your-own pictures with Santa, crafts, activities, and light concessions. Arrive early at 4:30 p.m. to enjoy “T’was the Night Before Christmas” around the fireplace in the library. At the Wildlife Conservation Center, the animals will be opening their gifts already dropped off by Santa, as well as games and activities. To travel between the 12th St. NW and Genoa Avenue entrances, you can drive, walk the lighted trail, or catch a ride on the trackless train traveling both directions. The Train Ride has a cost of $1 (cash) per person, per one-way ride (limited seating). Fun preparation for your consideration: Dress for the weather, cash, credit card, donations for the animals.
